Player Updates

Matt Harvey (-P)

Harvey signed a one-year contract with the Angels on Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Harvey heads to Los Angeles on a one-year deal worth up to $14 million, which includes $3 million of incentives, according to Jon Heyman of FancredSports.com. The veteran right-hander had a rough start to the 2018 season with the Mets but looked significantly better after being traded to the Reds, posting a 4.24 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 111:28 K:BB over 24 starts (128 innings). -- Rotowire.com

Cam Newton (Car-QB)

Coach Ron Rivera hasn't ruled out Newton sitting the final two games of the season due to a lingering injury to his right throwing shoulder, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports. "It's a tough situation right now," Rivera said Tuesday. "Until I get a chance to visit with him I'm not going to speculate."

The stats don't lie during the Panthers' current six-game losing streak. After throwing picks in just three out of the first eight contests of the season, he's tossed at least one interception in each of the six recent defeats. Perhaps more striking is accounting for his fewest passing yards (131 on Monday) since Week 4 of the 2015 season and lowest yards per attempt (4.5) in 123 career appearances. -- Rotowire.com

Mike Conley (Mem-G)

Conley (hamstring) is considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Conley was unable to suit up for Monday's loss to the Warriors, and looks like he is trending towards another game-time decision. Shelvin Mack would presumably replace him in the starting lineup at pointguard should he be unable to go again. An update on his status should be made available following Wednesday's shootaround. -- Rotowire.com

Keenan Allen (-WR)

Coach Anthony Lynn said Allen (hip) may be a game-time decision Saturday against the Ravens, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Allen left the Chargers' huge Week 15 win at Kansas City with a hip pointer that is threatening to lead to his first absence since missing all but one game in 2016 due to a torn ACL. He didn't put the best foot forward Tuesday with no activity at practice, per Eric D. -- Rotowire.com
